Chapter 296

by karlmaks — In the afternoon, downtown, at Basil Investment Bank, on the most bustling and prosperous street, the huge gold-plated sign shone with golden light under the sun's rays! Since Basil Investment Bank arrived here, it had created a lot of news for "Golden Port Today." They initially said their sign was made of gold. Then someone came in the middle of the night to steal the sign above the door and was injured by the falling sign. One of his legs was broken, but he endured the pain of the fracture and,…

by karlmaks — In the morning, just as Lance sat down in the dining room, Elvin brought some bad news. "The price of liquor has dropped a bit." Lance asked while eating his bacon, "What's the reason?" "Has Prohibition been relaxed?" "Or something else?" Elvin sat down next to him, also picking up a piece of bread. While adding things to it, he said, "The distilleries have all started to reopen, but they're not producing liquor, they're producing medicinal alcohol." "But you know... as long as the…

by karlmaks — Lance jumped down from the truck and stood in the middle of the crowd. Workers continuously came over to greet him. With yesterday's developments, the story of Lance helping them fight against the gangsters had spread completely. The lower a person is on the social ladder, the less educated and cultured they are, the simpler their reaction is to the matter of "someone being good to me." To put it simply, if someone is suddenly very good to a person from the bottom of society, that person will only…

by karlmaks — The matter of the police collecting money didn't originally start with the police actively collecting it, but with the operators actively giving it. The rate of gang turnover was too fast. So much so that you could pay a protection fee in the morning, and by the afternoon, that gang would be finished. Then the new gang that took over would demand that all the shops in the area pay again. No one could withstand such a hassle. In an era when the police could still stop evil, people could only place…

by karlmaks — "I heard you had a little problem over there." William stood facing the full-length mirror while Emily helped him adjust his clothes. These were all clothes personally made by the old tailor, fitting him perfectly. Although the old tailor was not yet famous in the Federation... But he was indeed capable, otherwise the nobles would not wear the clothes he made. William, carefully groomed in the mirror, looked as if he were several years younger. He looked at Lance through the mirror. Lance…

by karlmaks — "Mr. Lance, I know this is asking too much, but we're really out of options." An old man, who looked to be in his fifties, stood before Lance. His back, bent by life and this recent blow, made him look not so well. He was very thin and wore a gray cap. "I no longer have the ability to work. I've been looking for a job recently, but... no one is willing to hire me." "All my life savings were in the bank. I could have lived on those savings, but now..." His voice choked as he spoke, "I've lost…

by karlmaks — Ponda looked at her, uncomprehending. "Why?" Lisa refused to look at him. "I can't convince myself to face you again!" Even the doctor, who was used to seeing such things, was shocked by the injuries on her body. So what about Ponda? Would he find it unacceptable? After all, those wounds were man-made, created by someone with some object, on her body. She hadn't been wearing clothes, otherwise it would have been impossible to create such wounds. Maybe he wouldn't realize anything…

by karlmaks — In the evening, Ponda returned home. After resting for a while, he made a phone call to Lance. The call was quickly answered. "What do you plan to do next?" Ponda asked, smoking in his study. Today, the Bureau of Hazardous Materials also began interrogating the captured bar operators. Some of them were also subjected to torture, but the results were equally poor. But coincidentally, Ponda was in charge of the main interrogation work. Because everyone knew that he and the Lance Family did not…

by karlmaks — Figal's eyes were bloodshot. Lance's slap had shattered his dignity on the ground. In fact, he himself knew that now was not a good time to make a move. Perhaps Lance's men had already prepared for their attack, and were just waiting for them to walk into the trap, and then turn his men into sieves. But he couldn't not say it, he couldn't not take a stand. Several cadres had died in the early morning. If he had no attitude at all, what would the other cadres think? The Keane family was…

Chapter 584

by karlmaks — From Lance's perspective, the operating style of the Golden Port Casino was still a bit too conservative. Of course, this wasn't to say Bandy was incompetent. Some states still considered gambling to be illegal, so they might have been a bit more conservative in their promotions. For someone trying to whitewash their image, they didn't necessarily have to be excellent, but they absolutely could not afford to offend too many people. But from the perspective of a modern person like Lance, these…
